Baron Victor Frankenstein was the archetypal aristocrat, well-read, cultured and arrogant. Beyond the sophisticated veneer existed a cruel, utterly unscrupulous man, obsessed with ambition. Determined to realise his greatest dream to create life, he had assembled a creature from organs gathered from various unwilling donors. The creature is successful brought to life but the instability of the brain, damaged during surgery, causes uncontrollable violent spasms that result in indiscriminate murder... and it is the Baron to whom the blame is laid with fatal consequences.The Curse of Frankenstein is a classic 1957 British horror film by Hammer Film Productions, based on the novel Frankenstein (1816) by Mary Shelley. It was Hammer's first colour horror film, and the first of their Frankenstein series. Its worldwide success led to several sequels, and the studio's new versions of Dracula (1958) and The Mummy (1959) and established Hammer Horror as a distinctive brand of Gothic cinema. The film was directed by Terence Fisher and starred Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in two of their most iconic roles.Blu-Ray Disc:HD Main Feature – Never before released Academy ratio 1.37:1 (83 mins)HD The Curse of Frankenstein (1.66:1 version) - Alternate Aspect Ratio (83 mins)New audio commentary with Marcus Hearn and Jonathan RigbyFrankenstein Reborn: The Making of a Hammer Classic (New and exclusive)Life With Sir (New and exclusive Peter Cushing documentary)Four Sided Triangle - Bonus feature film (80 mins)Tales of Frankenstein - Bonus TV pilot (25 mins)World Of Hammer: The Curse of Frankenstein (25 mins)Stills ShowDouble DVD:Disc 1:Main Feature – Never seen before Academy ratio 1.37:1 (83 mins)The Curse of Frankenstein (1.66:1 version) - Alternative Aspect Ratio (83 mins)New audio commentary with Marcus Hearn and Jonathan RigbyDisc 2:Frankenstein Reborn: The Making of a Hammer Classic (New and exclusive)Life With Sir (New and exclusive Peter Cushing documentary)Four Sided Triangle - Bonus feature film (80 mins)Tales of Frankenstein - Bonus TV pilot (25 mins)World Of Hammer: The Curse of Frankenstein (25 mins)Stills ShowAll-new PDF booklet The Creator's Spark: Hammer's Frankenstein Begins with text by Hammer archivist Robert J.
